Southern Wilderness City.
At this moment, the sun was already high in the sky, and the entire Southern Wilderness City was bustling with activity. Players could be seen rushing through the streets and alleys, eager to make progress.
It was hard to tell whether it was the excitement from Yi Tianchen leveling up twenty times or the sudden appearance of the Divine Artifact of the Heavenly Path, but players from all walks of life were fully energized, forming groups and embarking on a leveling journey, all hoping to achieve greatness one day.
Clearly, being able to transform sorrow into strength in such a short time deserved recognition!
However...
Just as everyone was filled with enthusiasm, a voice suddenly rang out from the clear sky, startling countless prominent figures—
“Ding…”
System Announcement: Player 【Light Cold Evening Snow】 has announced: Dear players, I am President Light Cold Evening Snow of Mist and Rain Commerce. Our Chamber will hold a grand auction on January 10, 2015, at 8 PM in the Chamber Base of Operations Auction House, including the bidding for the first Guild Token across the server. Everyone is welcome to attend. Thank you!
...
“What the hell, Guild Token? Did I hear that right?”
“With divine artifacts appearing, what’s a mere Guild Token worth?”
“Damn it, this is cheating! I’m going to file a complaint… No one hold me back; I’m going to complain…”
The System announcement hit like a bombshell, plunging the previously vibrant atmosphere of Southern Wilderness City into chaos. Various complaints, frustrations, shouts, and doubts erupted like an unrelenting machine gun fire.
But what troubled many were the high-ranking members of various Guilds!
Undeniably, for them, the Guild Token was akin to a chicken leg for a man who had been starving for three days and nights. They didn’t rush forward immediately only because they hadn’t yet entered effective range; they needed to conserve their dwindling strength for a moment longer.
A week was just enough time for the completion of the Auction House, but it also involved another extremely important matter that couldn’t be delayed.
As everyone knew, while the Zero Era had opened up the Five Major Cities, there was no teleportation available between these cities. The Auction House, located in Southern Wilderness City, meant that even if an auction were held, it would only cater to players from that city. The term "grand" seemed somewhat exaggerated.
However...
According to official game information, there were two ways to unlock teleportation between Main Cities: first, through a System update; second, when the first player across the server completed their advancement to a level 60 high-tier profession.
This was Yi Tianchen's mission. Although the chances of a System update were slim, if he could reach level 60 within a week and complete the related high-level job advancement tasks, the teleportation between the Main Cities would also be unlocked. This would undoubtedly attract a large number of capable players from the other four Main Cities, especially with the Guild Token as the grand prize!
...
At nine in the morning.
The discussions about the auction held by Mist and Rain Commerce were still in full swing. Yi Tianchen had already arrived outside the gates of the Southern Wilderness City’s royal palace. Thinking back, the last time he met Lord Dolan of Southern Wilderness City was when he had just reached level 10!
Of course, this city lord was not someone one could meet at will; the royal palace was a heavily guarded place, symbolizing the highest authority in Southern Wilderness City. How could players just wander in?
But Yi Tianchen was not afraid. With the Southern Wilderness City Warrior Medal shining on his arm, the guards immediately stepped aside. After all, this was an honor medal personally awarded by Lord Dolan himself; it was only right for the little guards to treat it with respect.
Passing through the corridor and along a path that he barely remembered, Yi Tianchen soon entered deep into the palace and saw Lord Dolan of Southern Wilderness City, as formidable as he had been yesterday.
"Ah, isn't this our warrior from Southern Wilderness City? What brings you to my residence today?" Unexpectedly, while Yi Tianchen was still pondering how to start a conversation, Lord Dolan opened up first, his gaze falling on Yi Tianchen's Dragon's Roar.
"I have a question that I hope the lord can clarify!" Yi Tianchen said.
Lord Dolan paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he regained his composure and said sternly, "Speak."
"I would like to know what your relationship is with General Lufeng?"
"Lufeng?" Although Lord Dolan remained calm, there was a fleeting hesitation in his eyes. "Lufeng is a traitor to the kingdom; how do you know him?"
Yi Tianchen felt somewhat speechless. The former Lord Dolan of Southwild City turned out to be a traitor?
But upon further reflection, he sensed something amiss. If General Lufeng he encountered at Haunted Mansion was truly a traitor, why would he assign him a main quest? Moreover, it was a main quest filled with countless mysteries that he had barely survived.
"Lufeng betrayed the kingdom for his own selfish desires, leading many talented generals to their doom..." Lord Dolan sighed and then spoke seriously. "As a warrior of Southern Wilderness City, I hope you can remain loyal and be true to the kingdom!"
"Heh..."
For a moment, Yi Tianchen couldn't find suitable words and could only chuckle awkwardly. Wasn't this game setting just too realistic?
"Does the lord know about this?"
After a brief silence, Yi Tianchen decided to take another shot. He placed the Elemental Fragment—Wood Fragment that he had taken from Money Exchange before Lord Dolan’s eyes. The vibrant grass-green light seemed almost alive, casting an ethereal glow throughout the hall.
Unexpectedly, this time Lord Dolan of South Wilderness City did not mention anything further. A hint of desolation and helplessness suddenly rose in his previously confused gaze as he sighed, "The tides of time have changed; in the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed. Is it possible that the destined fate has quietly begun to unfold?"
Fate, once again, fate!
Yi Tianchen was shocked. From initially hearing about it from Dwarf Blacksmith Kahn in Maple Village, to later having his mentor, Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss, mention it, and now hearing it from Lord Dolan of South Wilderness City—three NPCs with extraordinary pasts were discussing the same topic!
"Young warrior, there is a matter at hand. I wonder if you could assist me with it?"
Yi Tianchen was taken aback; he could hardly believe it. The matter of the task had not even been fully resolved yet, and now he was being presented with a new mission.
"Please tell me. As long as it does not go against morality and justice, I will not fail you!" Yi Tianchen declared passionately.
"Very well!"
Lord Dolan of South Wilderness City nodded in approval and said sternly, "Thirty miles northwest of Southern Wilderness City, there is a human encampment with one General and six guards. However, according to the latest intelligence, this General shows signs of treachery. I need you to immediately head to this encampment and eliminate the General along with the six guards. Are you willing to accept this task?"
